Introduction

There are many ways that technology can be used in today’s society. It is important that every business knows how to use technology effectively. With the use of technology businesses can run more smoothly and efficiently. But technology can also create a problem within a business if it is not utilized correctly. This summer my family traveled to St. Thomas for a family vacation. Getting to St. Thomas was not a problem, but leaving the island there were a lot of difficulties with the use of technology that made it almost impossible to leave. St. Thomas is a part of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The population is around 51,000 people. The level of technology on the islands is pretty basic, especially within the airport. The airport …show more content…

Thomas airport is very important. Almost everything that travelers and employees to in an airport relies on technology. It is important that airports keep advancing with the new technology that comes out. It was like the St. Thomas airport was trapped in a technology lock. In the article “The new technologies set to revolutionise the airport journey” it discusses how information technology is literally shaping the way people travel by air. It is important to stay with technology because it is now starting to affect peoples lives on a day to day basis. This is the role that technology needs to play at the St. Thomas …show more content…

While waiting for the flight check-in man to print off our tickets I noticed that he did not know how to type very well. He was “chicken pecking” on the keyboard. In the article “2 Tips for Helping Employees Overcome Technology Problems” it states that the company whom an employee works for should do anything they can to help the employee feel comfortable with the use of technology. The airport may want to offer some sort of course on how to get the employees used to the technology that is available to them. These are some of the recommendations that are available for the St. Thomas Airport. It is important for every employee to feel comfortable working at the airport and for the travelers to feel as if they are being looked after in this new technological age. Technology definitely plays an important role in today’s economy and it is important that the St. Thomas airport keep up with the advances.

    Challenged by an old, obsolete airport, the city of Denver decided on not only doing an expansion but ultimately building a fully dedicated facility in an entirely new location. Twice the size of Manhattan, the airport was to be the largest in the United States and was specially designed to handle concentrated hubbing traffic (Montealgre et al, 1996, p.4). The master plan encompassed a fast tracked build-design scheme that called for utmost operational efficiency which would consequently attract large airlines to choose DIA as their main Southwestern hub (Nice, n.d.). Dominance of the DIA would fuel an economic boom in Denver, but for this to take place—a fast passenger turnover would be required, leading to the perception that they had to implement an airport-wide automated baggage handling system in spite of the known risks. This critical piece of the airport wou...

  • Challenges In Motivating Employees

    915 Words  | 2 Pages

    While technological innovations can provide increased opportunities for organizations and give them a competitive advantage, not all employees respond well to changes in their everyday workflow. When an organization updates its systems, it can face some resistance from employees, especially when the employees do not feel properly trained and lack the confidence in using the new system. Employees may grow frustrated and become less productive and efficient. In some extreme cases, technology can also replace some of their duties and make their positions obsolete, leaving them out of a job. This ties back to the need for job security. Technology has come a long way in the past 50 years and the types of challenges just mentioned are a lot more common in this day and age than they were before. Therefore, managers need to adapt to this changes in the work environment and find a way to satisfy their employees’ needs while increasing work performance and

  • Essay On Airport Security

    1790 Words  | 4 Pages

    Rafi Sela, a former head of security of an Israeli airport once said, "If you have a gap in security, you have no security" (qtd. in Gulli et al). There remain serious security gaps in the airports spread across the United States today. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is an agency that was specifically created because of the 9/11 attacks and is responsible for regulating and operating the security of the airports in the United States. Its main aspect at present is the screening of passengers and their cargo, and it is in charge of the rules and regulations put into effect in the airports over them. Other agencies and individuals have noticed a wide breach in the TSA's supposedly effective measures of security, as the Government Accountability Office (GAO) made a statement saying, "TSA screening procedures are no better at foiling terror threats than random chance" (Blakeley). The TSA is an ineffective and an incompetent department that is shown by the GAO to be, "notoriously terrible at catching dangerous threats" (qtd. in Blakeley). This gap of security by the TSA is preventing the United States from providing a safe and secure aviation system that will ultimately keep all passengers safe from harm. Unless serious measures are taken to reconstruct the airport security system, the threats of suicide missions and terrorism developing in airports may become a frequent reality in the future. The airline industry has a history involving numerous cases of disputes and complications (Goodwin). Though some of these issues have been resolved by the TSA, many other concerns involving recent occurrences such as attempted bombings still remains to be resolved. Currently, the airport's security operation is one of mass confu...
